Belfast. Politics, music, books, games, films, the usual nonsense.

What a band. Their previous band Don Martin Three have made it to streaming etc (Transistor is a absolute tune). Their new band, Vulture Feather, are superb too and getting a bit of traction.

They were great! Been 20 years since I last saw them. I took one dodgy picture.

That is a blast from the past. I saw kid 606 and lsr on their 2000 European tour. Face melting. Belfast wasn't ready.

I have two tickets for sale for Mitski in Dublin on Saturday 4th May. Selling for €139 or the sterling equivalent which is what I paid. Thanks

Barry Hogan: We had to ban the Butthole Surfers too. Gibby Haynes, the singer, passed out in catering and threw coffee over the female security guard who woke him. Vincent Gallo requested Christina Aguilera, but I think that was more because he was interested in having sex with her. He picked some incredible stuff, but he's a dick. He thinks Donald Trump is a great man. When he was applying for a work permit, under nationality he put "proud American", like fucking Kid Rock or something.

Vincent Gallo sells his sperm for $1m on his website. Some conditions to it though.

"Mr. Gallo maintains the right to refuse sale of his sperm to those of extremely dark complexions. ... Mr. Gallo does not want to be part of that type of integration"

Someone was in my window seat on the plane. Dick but whatever. Took the middle seat between the two occupied seats. Took me five minutes to realise that I was squeezed in-between a couple that obviously couldn't handle sitting beside each other πŸ˜…

I love that album. So many of the sublime frequencies records from that era are gold. Choubi Choubi was my fave.
